And so everyones clear.. Let me explain my position on the difference between a drug dealer and a caregiver ( and no i have nothing against drug dealers lol )
A Caregiver should be someone who actually gives a shit, Not someone who does it to make every last penny he can, This means caregivers grow strains the patients need if your a patient your self that would include growing strains specific to your own needs as well..
Caregivers should offer up what they would normally just throw away FOR FREE to patients to make into there own medicine, that means if you have a bag full of shit fan leaf and whatever you don't want.. Offer it up as medicine for free, Don't try and attach strings to shit like if you do this for me you can have all this fan leaf.. Thats not a caregiver thats a barter system that a cheap bastard uses.. :)
When your using the medical marijuana laws to grow marijuana then your a caregiver.. Act like one. Set your price make the agreement of what the patient can expect and should expect and stick to those agreements, NOTHING should change for the year or 2 ( now ) that hes or she is listed as your caregiver/patient without both parties agreeing and discussing it. After all you took the job as CAREGIVER, Your trying to fill the role of a dr now in the patients eyes, So your our pharmacy, We tell you what we need and you dispense OUR medication.. Do so and collect your fee, Remember if you choose to be a caregiver and do so under the MMA Then thats now your job you took that role not me..
Now a drug dealer will be just about the complete opposite of a caregiver. Whores EVERYTHING Trying to make stash from trash from every single leaf pulled, Every tiny little nug is sold every bit he can make money off of. Drug dealers care not about your medical problems nor will they offer much in the way of working with you at all, They take take take take take and thats cool thats there job too.. There drug dealers i don't pay them to give a shit about my problems i pay them for the marijuana and we both part ways. No real interaction needed tell me what ya got if i like i buy if i don't ( when don't i? ) I buy..
Ways to test if your caregiver may actually just be a drug dealer in disguise....
1. Do they actually CARE??? If you explain to them that the last batch of so called indica actually kept you up at night Do they care ? Or do they just go and i quote here.. " Whatever buy another strain then! " ,,, Your caregiver may just be a dick too ;)
2. When you call your " Caregiver " do they get paranoid cause your using the phone? BBZZZZZZZZZZZZZT Drug dealer!
3. Does your provider give you anything ? Even just FAN LEAF? Considering how much money your pouring into them I would think the answer would be a resounding yes on the fan leaf at least! ( If thats acting entitled then so be it ;) .. )
4. Does your caregiver abuse any of the MMA while still acting high and mighty like there above everyone else who doesn't have there card? In other words, They go over the limits of plants or ounces or break any part of the Law yet still harshly judge and criticize those around them who don't follow the law? Bzzt Drug dealer who thinks hes a caregiver .. The WORST KIND!
5. End rant i need a dab.
This may or may not been some of what ive had to put up with over the last couple of years... If i sound entitled so be it.. Ive explained my position from my point of view.. The former caregiver sadly would never join a forum so you'll only get 1 side of this..
Carry on :D
